By default, Tributed cards are [[sent]] to the [[Graveyard]]. In the  "Tribute" (リリースする ''TCGRirīsu Suru'', "Tribute" ) is primarily used as a verb; previously. Previously, it was phrased as "offer as a Tribute", called '''sacrifice''' ({{Ruby|生|い}}け{{Ruby|贄|にえ}}に{{Ruby|捧|ささ}}げる 生け贄に捧げる ''Ikenie ni Sasageru'') in the ''[[OCG]]'' and /''[[TCG]]'', as well as the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. "Sacrifice" is also often used to refer to Tributing in the anime.

Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]'', they are still considered Tributing is exclusive to Tribute Summons. Card effects that would Tribute monsters on the field in the ''OCG''/''TCG'' instead send them from the field to be Tributedthe Graveyard in Rush Duels.
